scobydog Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Not a Chummy they didn't have a front split bumper, and if you look closer it appears to be 4 door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky boy….I had to use the horse during the 1962/3 winter because I could not get the car started and the kick back from the starting handle on a cold winters morning was like having six of the best across your hands, them were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's certainly an Austin and the radiator certainly looks more 7 than 10 or 12, and there appears to be the side vent flap of a 7, but, when enlarged, the photo does look like a 4 door, and the front bumper looks wrong. However you could bolt any old bit of steel to an Austin 7 chassis and what appears to be rear doors could be the Chummy's hood support. Can you borrow the Tardis and take a better photo please? 😄 Edited December 6, 2018 by amateur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobydog Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Could be a 20, similar rad to a 7 and later ones had a split bumper and front split windscreen the 7 had it's badge on the grill not the cowling like this 1, the side windows are out of proportion for a 7 and there is definitely 2 rear doors on it.Just waiting for F in law to get back, he's in Qatar at the moment.
